Song-Collaboration in Cameroon: D Clan Koweh feat. Akeva Malayika

''My Wife'' is a love song that expresses the beauty of love in Cameroon and in African communities as a whole.

Love has no boundaries and so we are all free to fall in love and get married to the one our hearts beat for and feel safe with, despite the differences in language, color and traditions. It's just that perfect piece wrapped in a beautiful vibe that explains it all. Check it out on YouTube.

Produced by JN Killer Beats.

Composed & Performed by D Clan Koweh and ‪Akeva Malayika.

Video Directed by Dr Nkeng Stephen of CPE For Africa.

Story by Mr Fru of Glass Plannet, ‪@kowehofficial‬ and Dr Nkeng Stephens.

Debut Album: Pan-African Soul

"AKEVA - also known as MAYEMBÉ MALAYIKA's Debutalbum „Pan-African Soul“ is a well produced and quite intense Blend of Soul, Reggae and Afro Beat. A sound, that attracts both Western and African listeners, makes the songs flow artistically. Songs like 'African Soul', 'Africanization' or her single 'Good Things Come Around' sound like spiritual ‘Happiness Songs’ – Wake up Call for the Soul!" *Articles: Tagblatt & Interkultur (Jürgen Spiess)

"AKEVA - bisher bekannt als MAYEMBÉ MALAYIKA's Debutalbum „Pan-African Soul“ ist eine gut produzierte und äußerst intensive Verschmelzung von Soul, Reggae und Afrobeats. Mit einem Sound, der sowohl westliche als auch afrikanische Hörer anspricht, gehen die Songs kunstvoll ineinander über. Titel wie 'African Soul', 'Africanization' oder ihre Single 'Good Things Come Around' klingen wie spirituelle Gute-Laune-Lieder - doch gleichzeitig sind sie ein Weckruf für den Soul." *Presse: Tagblatt & Interkultur (Jürgen Spiess)
